Obtaining IMAPS Data

The IMAPS archive is maintained at the Space Telescope Science
Institute (STScI) as part of MAST, the
Multi-mission Archive at STScI.
IMAPS-1 data from the 1993 ORFEUS-I mission is available as either
raw image files or as coadded corrected image files (the echelle
spectra were never extracted, but the IDL extraction software
should be made available in the near future).
The IMAPS-2 data obtained during the 1996 ORFEUS-II mission,
was never released by the principal investigators, but
should be archived within MAST when it becomes available.

The IMAPS-1 data are currently stored online in uncompressed FITS files
and are available
via the WEB or anonymous FTP at archive.stsci.edu
in the /pub/orfeus/imaps/data/ directories.
IMAPS-1 data are also listed in two html tables which are summarized
in the IMAPS Search Table page. Information on the individual observations
can be obtained from the FITS headers which can be displayed from these
tables.

If you have problems reading the files, please check the
Reading IMAPS Data page for suggested ways to read the FITS
files. See also the Data Products page for a description of the file formats.

If you have problems retrieving your data, please send e-mail to
archive@stsci.edu.
